Review:
"Nevin's book is essentially a study of Junger's writing rather than of his politics, although it by no means diminishes the importance of the latter and is acute in its analysis and criticism of it."
--Gordon A. Craig," London Review of Books"
"Ernst Junger and Germany is a profound interpretation of Ernst Junger, offering a compelling analysis of this leading literary figure who over the years has often been misinterpreted by scholars, literary critics, and journalists. Readers will emerge with a clear view of Junger's significance as one of the century's leading exponents of the Dionysian impulse married to modern technology. No one can read this book without seeing Junger in a new light."-- Jay W. Baird, author of To Die for Germany
"By dint of his great age, intellect, cultural breadth, and one-time proximity to supreme power, one could argue that Junger is the pre-eminent witness of Europe's history in this century. Thomas Nevin presents an extraordinary picture of an exceptional man and a very important insight into the nature not only of German history in the hundred years of Junger's lifetime but also the modern world."--Hugh Cecil, author of The Flower of Battle: How Britain Wrote the Great War
